This specific e-mail hid this text by making the colour of the text white, so that it disappears against a white background.

The idiots who compiled this e-mail did not do a great job of disguising the phishing link. We believe that the scammers used another phishing site for the anchor text, just in case the user copied the link instead of clicking on it. The link was inactive when we received the e-mail, so it might have been a fake link all along.
